Needlepoint.com describes Pepper Pot from Planet Earth. The thread comes in 30 yard skeins and also on 10 yard cards when you just need a touch of Pepper Pot.
KC Needlepoint explains how to decide whether you need a skein or a card of Pepper Pot.
Needlepoint.com's also done a video is about opening a skein of Pepper Pot Silk.
I don't recommend cutting skeins into stitchable lengths ahead of time. You never know when you'll need a longer length. But if this is how you always stitch, you might want to follow these instructions.
